Abstract: This is an information request for a one-year approval for the extension of OMB #0925-0720 titled, “Surveys and Interviews to Support an Evaluation of the Innovative Molecular Analysis Technologies (IMAT) Program”. To date, the IMAT program has issued 603 R21 and R33 awards and 183 SBIR and STTR awards, supporting over 500 unique technology platforms. The majority of the interviews (82%) and surveys (58%) have been completed with the past IMAT awardees and the comparison group of other NIH awardees. This extension is to collect information from the remaining interviews and surveys. Interviews with the cohort of IMAT-supported technology end-users have not started but will begin shortly.
